Thee is NO issue in most fullbore clubs with someone who needs to shooting off a bench. We have one HB member who does this. Hell, I can even supply something suitable if it comes to it Grandpamac :)

With a big magnum caliber you end up with: - a big bulky scope. - you always end up wanting to bring rifle weight down. - it requires a suppressor or muzzle brake to be manageable. - you don't...

Look up NZNRA rules for info on the various classes. Pretty well all hunting centrefire would fit FPR as front and rear bags are allowed. However true Hunter Class has a rifle weight limit 9.2lbs I...

You want a “big gun”, you want to be able to “anchor the big stag on the spot”. I get the appeal of bigger, better, new shiny toys, etc - it’s a guy thing, & an itch we all luv to scratch - but...
